The Jefferson County District Attorney's office has not received but wants to see the findings of an internal investigation conducted by an outside law firm into an altercation involving a Beaumont school district senior administrative employee.

The district has refused to release the information to The Enterprise, citing among other reasons that it is part of a pending law enforcement investigation or criminal prosecution. The district has requested a ruling from the state attorney general's office permitting it to withhold the report.

However, the district attorney's office was unaware any documents existed until The Enterprise inquired last week whether it was part of the case against Jessie Haynes, special assistant to the superintendent, who is accused of blocking a board trustee and a reporter from entering a news conference.

The district attorney's office filed charges against Haynes in September for obstructing a public passageway, a class B misdemeanor punishable by up to 180 days in jail, a fine up to $2,000 or both. Her trial has been set for Feb. 24.

Ed Shettle, first assistant district attorney in the criminal division, said neither the BISD police nor the school district had filed the law firm's findings with his office or notified him of any further investigation into the incident. He said he was interested in seeing the information.

"We (district attorneys) would take statements from potential witnesses," he said. "We would take information from anyone to see if it could be admissible evidence."

The DA's office previously received information about the incident from the BISD police department.

Charges have not been filed against anyone else involved in the Aug. 1 incident except Haynes, according to district and municipal court records.
